This place is great to work from. I sat at the outside patio and later relocated to their upstairs seating - the upstairs was nice and quiet, felt like I had a personal office to work from. Plenty of seating all around, nice location in town, good coffee, selection of baked goods and some other food options available.

Lavender latte! Delicious, friendly baristas, and an awesome outdoor seating area.

Good coffee. They have a small inside area but a nice big beautiful outside area that is calming to sit out there and relax.

At last, found a Raisin Bran Muffin and an awesome one too!Really adds to the morning coffee! Love it!

Great cute sit out!!! Fab place for coffee and a few scones muffins!

Great coffee and scones! Amazing staff!

Quick, fast service for 7am on a Sunday. Coffee was great!

Great place with a good selection of quite seating to do work. Would highly recommend.

The coffee is amazing, smooth espresso (decaf). The flavor was delight. I got Decaf mocha and my wife White mocha, smooth creamy texture.

Great place. Service is great. Coffee too

Very nice place. Good coffee and food. and the garden seating was very relaxing

I loved the coffee but the scones not so much also we got shorted a muffin but in all really nice service and good community

Super cute spot surrounded with trees and flowers 💐Fast service and great breakfast sandwiches & burritos

Im from New York where you have plenty of coffee spots. Well, when traveling you more than nothing want a good coffee. This place is amazing! Coffee is great and cookies unbelievable tasty!Oh, one more thing! The Coffee Trader cares about the future of the planet! ❤️

This Coffee Trader location is absolutely they best in Montrose! It has by far the best coffee in the best in the entire area, but the employees and service are what makes it the most amazing. As a transplant, you don’t often feel as welcomed in local businesses since you’re not a life long resident, and hat is not the case here! Brandy, Chris, and every other regular employee at this location have had the most kind, helpful, and outgoing attitudes and customer service I have seen in a local establishment in a long time. These girls and guys served Montrose through the pandemic, upheld the businesses mask mandate (which was not easy to do here), and never once had a bad attitude towards a customer or another employee. And I do go there regularly. Hands down the best place to go and the best customer service you’ll find anywhere close to Montrose!

Great coffee, all drinks are completed with care. A bit under staffed so have a seat and relax.

Great place to sit and drink some coffee, great food as well! Love that its dog friendly :)

My coffee was so good this morning, it’s hard to find people that make coffee well! She made it fast and with the right ratios which is also hard to find sometimes! Thank you!! 10/10!!

Really cool house turned Art Gallery / coffee shop. The espresso could use a little fine-tuning, breakfast burrito was excellent but panini a bit stiff... still awesome.Id be honored to have my art hang here!

A cute little place to grab some coffee and even a bite to eat.We were just passing through from Grand Junction to the Springs and enjoyed the atmosphere of this quaint little coffee shop. The employees were friendly and helpful. Stop in, Im sure youll love it!!

This is a lovely place for coffee, with good seating, friendly people, hot coffee and great homemade scones.

Delicious coffee, cute cozy atmosphere, and friendly staff! caramel macchiato was on point!

I love this place. Good vibe. Good peeps. Good service. Good coffee.

What a cute place. I loved my caramel mocha (with no whipped cream...after phone call, did you want whipped cream...wait you said no whipped cream...so of course as hes making my beverage I said, by the way no whipped cream...it was funny, you had to be there) and my chocolate chip cookie for the road. I believe he was the owner and wonderful sense of humor. So friendly and nice. Laugh and energy, contagious! Ill stop in again when Im back in town. Thank you!!! ❤

Cool place with a kicking shot of espresso

These guys are great. The coffee is always made properly. The food is tasty and the environment is very comfortable. A+++

Delicious chai and super friendly staff. Hope there will be a vegan breakfast burrito and/or pastry option soon!!

What is not to love? The BEST.

Always friendly service. Young employees but very respectful

This is the best coffee place in town! Loved it. Excellent service and friendly people!

I essentially grew up in this store as a kid. It was a welcome respite from the typical big box starbucks garbage. Unfortunately, today there were 20+ people inside, and not one. single. mask. to be seen. I take care of a 90 year old. I wear a mask for him. I wear a mask for you. I wear a mask for those too illiterate to understand how basic virus transmission works. Until it is required to wear a mask in this place, I will leave the 1 star up. Cheers, stay safe, and remember that viruses dont care what political party you belong to.

Fair priced excellent coffee. Variety

Their coffee is decent but the food was terrible. Break fast sandwiches are frozen food microwaved. Ordered a large cappuccino and I was a given a medium. No attention to detail. Left the place hungry.

Stopped in for some coffee and pastry before we hit the trails in Telluride. The orange cranberry scones was incredible! Highly recommend.

Great coffee shop. I ordered the Mexican Mocha and it’s delicious! Husband got the blueberry muffin, very sweet, great for a morning breakfast on the go. Kind staff and lovely atmosphere.

Super cute spot surrounded with trees and flowers 🌻🌼🌷fast service and great breakfast sandwiches / burritos that were seasoned perfectly, and of course great coffee☕ they were busy and everything took only about 10 min :)

Thank goodness that some things, places and people dont change a whole lot. Their coffee is fresh and wonderful, has been for over 20 years and when there is a menu change, its a great thing and always exceptional. Freshly baked goodies for breakfast, delectablle, They refuse to give me the Apple Muffin recipe STILL after begging for years to know what is in it that makes it taste like éverything grand and familiar on a Saturday morning. Every single day of the week. I always felt it was my home (its actually an old home) because they assume that your family, so be ready with pics. Go and taste the whole experience.

Great customer service

Cute fun coffee place

Great coffee and breakfast food. I enjoy relaxing outside in the cute seating area!

I read online that they deliver but I called one location and was told it was the other location that delivers and I then called the main street location and was told there not doing it. So maybe you guys should take that off your Google search that you do not deliver it would be helpful.

Excellent atmosphere, best coffee in town and some tasty baked goodies!

Love this place! Love the gardens! Love the drinks! Love the staff! We read their fabulous selection of greeting cards while waiting for a table to open up in the garden. Great vibe! Just all around great place!

Coffee was awesome! They totally have that down. The kids inside were sweet and treated you like a regular. The food however, was sad at best. It definitely needs some tuning.

Excellent coffee and service. I stopped in with my laptop on a Tuesday morning to get some work done and three was a steady flow of business in the 2 hours I was there. They serve pastries and panini sandwiches. They looked excellent, but I only had the coffee. Friendly staff that seemed to know everyone that walked in. Lots of laughter and chatter. Slightly disruptive for me, but I loved the overall ambiance if the place. Ill definitely go back the next time Im in town.

People seated had no masks, I had no problem with that because I had none. When I got to the window, they wouldnt serve me because I had no mask. I will not support a business trying to apply arbitrary rules.

I have since moved away but still dream of their housemade orange cranberry scones and veggie breakfast burritos. As far as coffee goes, I went here 1-2 times a day for 4 years and always had great drinks. Fun staff and cool garden to sit in on a hot day.

We were just at the location on 5th street and it’s a really cute little place! Great selection of ceramic mugs (pretty as well as humorous). Comfy leather-covered seats, and great outdoor seating on a patio surrounded by flowers. All the servers were really nice and kept the place spotless. Good coffee too.

Quick in, Quick out. Felt safe inside and was treated well. Thanks yall!

Good coffee. Compfy at home experience.

Lots of different sitting areas with an upstairs and patio option. Loved the peach scone and blueberry muffin with some great coffee!

I love this place. Lovely location with outdoor garden and indoor home-type feel, kind team, fast service, delicious coffee, they deliver large orders for me, and a manager/owner who really cares. Can’t beat it!

Very nice service, coffee was excellent and the price was very good too

Great local coffee shop

Brought back good memories! Thank you

Strong coffee. Drip is not terribly expensive. Convenient location. Lots of cozy places to sit. Hip enough to laugh out loud with friends, but not so loud you cant hear conversation. Conference room upstairs that can be reserved via calendar at the downstairs counter.

Great coffee . Awesome selections . Good service. I would definately recommend. You dont find many coffee shops that serve good coffee anymore. Prices are reasonable. I got a hot Italiano (white chocolate steamed milk and espresso) delicious !

Top-rated for friendly service. This is the #1 local coffee-shop hangout. Quality coffees served by a staff who will treat you like a regular. Excellent muffins/pastries and breakfast burritos! These folks love and support their community, and it shows.

Great service. Love the old house setup.

Couldnt ask for a better coffee shop! Been coming here since the day they opened. I love getting my usual Mystic Mesa Avalanche and the burritos and paninis are amazing! On top of the great drinks and food, the staff is unbelievable! Its always great to walk in and have them call out to you by first name and ask how my day is going or how the family is! Its great that they are all so personable and delightful. Great place for everyone and anyone!

Honestly, this is one of my favorite coffee shops. The beverages are always delicious and the staff is SO friendly!

Great place for coffee (for my husband) and hot chocolate (for me). Great staff, always fast friendly service

Best BLUEBERRY SCONES we have ever tasted !!! Their Orange-Cranberry scones were also Excellent. The young staff were super nice and extremely sharp and efficient. I suggest that you call there first, if you are after something specific, as not all baked items are made there every day and they are so GOOD that they often sell out !

This is the best coffee shop Ive ever been to. I say that for some somewhat intangible reasons but I found The Coffee Trader a wonderful experience. I love the use of the old house, the decor, and the indoor and outdoor seating options. Of course my coffee was amazing. The roast was delicious. The service was quick. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I just wish I didnt live 1,000 miles away.

I love the caramel macchiato hot or iced. It never disappoints! The cinnamon roll is great. The service is tops and they know how you take it even though you are gone for awhile! Such a wonderful place to stay and enjoy the morning sun after my morning walk.

Wonderful staff, great coffee, and a beautiful place! A little oasis to relax and enjoy your favorite beverage. I highly recommend.

This place is super cute but our beverages were not good. Mine tasted like dish soap & my husbands wasn’t tasty either. Maybe we hit it on a bad day, but we would not return.

I love EVERYRHING about Coffee Trader!!! The staff is wonderful! The owners are involved around town in so many ways showing their ongoing support. We are so lucky to have 3 locations in our town! Their coffee and pastries are DELICIOUS!!!!!!

I purchased a medium vanilla latte with a vanilla shot coffee. It was very delicious. The man who works there was very friendly and gave me speedy service. I recommend going to this place.

Nice staff—however the almond milk latte is terrible and tastes incredibly burnt. Zero flavor except that of a charred camp fire.

Good coffee and offers a great little secluded patio to enjoy it and listen to the morning song birds of the mountains. Offers a good variety of pastries and some hot items as well to sate a larger breakfast appetite. Friendly staff and cleaning common areas. If you find yourself in Montrose I recommend a stop here.

The downtown location is the cutest coffee place in Montrose. There is plenty of sports to relax inside and outside. The owners are wonderful and you can really feel that they care about this place. Everything on the menu is great and even the burritos in the morning are wonderful!

These people are the best. So friendly. Let you work there quietly as you need. The Mexican Mocha is a favorite of mine! Get it with the whip cream. Prices are competitive with major coffee joints.

Its cute. Good coffee and tea. Great place to hang out. Read or chat with other people.

All around excellent! Perfect cold brew, delicious paninis, beautiful courtyard and great service. Very nice!

Excellent coffee, owners very friendly and knowledgeable. Baked goods homemade and wonderful. Feels good to be in a place where proprietors are passionate and joyous about their work.

I have been coming to the Coffee Trader since middle school...not only does it feel like home, but its coffee is the best in town. They are simply the best!

Love this place! Great coffee and the scones never disappoint.

Quick friendly service. AMAZING fresh pastries. Cute atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back

The service was great, the food was delicious, the coffee was good, and the wait was short.

If your looking for a coffee house in a quaint and comfortable setting, this is the place. Outdoor patio and lots of seating inside.

Always great service and food! LOVE that ambiance of the original facility! A great place to meet friends and make new ones.

I have been coming to the coffee trader on and off over the past 8 years. I temporarily lived in Montrose and now every time that I drive through the town I have to stop and get one of their freezers. They have excellent customer service, a great location to sit and drink coffee, and excellent coffee and drinks.

Been coming here for years every time I visit my family in the area. Great coffee, friendly people, beautiful cafe. Cant wait to visit again!

Amazing scones!

Wonderful place with friendly staff. Lots of rooms to escape to for meetings or just to have some space. Everything Ive had there is super delicious and well made.

They deliver, the owners take pride in their establishment and the drinks and food are just so good! If I could buy their coffee beans in New Mexico I definitely would. Ill be back to get my Coffee Trader fix soon!

This the only establishment that makes Great Mexican Moco . Ive been going here since 2006 . Owner is great and sorry I dont know how or correct spelling of his name ?

The coffee here was great!! But what really impressed me was the service! There was this cute girl who was working, who was funny and made me an incredible drink! Ill be sure to go back for both the coffee and this girl

Love it!!! Have to go every time I go to Montrose. Wonderful mug gifts and cards

Love this place, the original location on Main street. Ordering and getting your coffee drink can get a bit tangled with other humans, but the old house atmosphere with porch and yard are worth it.

The coffee taste like it is mixed with used coffee grounds not the best tasting coffee lately my fav drink is vanilla latte hot or cold

Yeah not a fan of the latte they managed to make taste like a bad Starbucks latte. Not sure how it attained a 4.6 either. Sure its in a quaint old house and the baked goods are okay, however, COFFEE should be the FOCUS of any coffee shop. Anything else misses the mark. I worked as a barista for two years in a proper coffee shop and can fashion a latte of excellence with my $600 Rancillio Sylvia, in my own kitchen (unfortunately traveling for work, so not an option) that would taste 1000 times better than this.

Great little shop. The breakfast burritos are just right size. Coffee is good. Quaint atmosphere.

Good coffee and pastries. Fabulous staff. Nice atmosphere in a historic building near downtown Montrose.

Best little Bakery dessert but very expensive

On Vacation from CT. Coffee was insanely good. Love the local coffee shops, and this was on top of the list. Thank you for great customer service and killer coffee!

This is an establishment that I am pround to support. Such a friendly staff, they know me by name. They cheer me up and the service and coffee is always great. They have an awesome rewards program to earn free coffee. Beautiful outdoor garden seating and free wifi. ♡♡♡♡

What a gem! Stumbled on this adorable Cafe on my way out of town. The coffee was excellent. Service was fantastic. Will definitely come back.

Great place for a plephora of coffees. All of them good! Persons there, employees and customers are all friendly- even for this biker.
